I found it entertaining enough, very high production values for sure.
One thing tho, didn't the penguin always have a british accent tho? This one is very obviously heavily inspired by Tony soprano. Feels like he's doing impressions of him at times.
Damn good series. And yea, I get Tony Soprano vibes as well, love it!

The accent and dialogue do sound very Tony Soprano inspired.
I have no idea if either of them do a good New York/New Jersey accent though, i know people complained about Gandolfini sounding rather cartoonish at times and also that the accent changed, but i can't judge if it sounds genuine, i'm not from there i bet that sometimes its rather useful to not be american because it won't bother us
Whats more surprising is that the first 3 eps were also written by women, and they were all great. It's usually the writers that do most of the damage. Maybe there is hope after all.
I really didn't like this episode. Everything outside of Sophia's acting was shit.
Spoiler:
For one, the fucking Maronis are turned in to a bunch of loonie-toon plot pushing events that pop up just to move the plot, then disappear again.
What was the point of showing up then? Why not catch him alone? Instead they expose him and so make him useless anyway since the whole idea was for OZ to work from the inside. Then they just leave without taking or kiling Sophia... like what? Not an ounce of sense.
Then we go to the destruction of Sophia as a character. Let's take all the ambiguity out of her past, lets just make her this saint of a character that is just nice, outside of snapping once at Oz and then everything that is bad is from Arkham. Fuck that. It was terrible, just as terrible as her dad killing her mom at home in that way, and having his kid just able to walk in, and ... what is this shit?
Also the whole implication of Oz snitching to her dad, before it sounded like he would have done much more, as it sounded like he was rewarded for it, and that was from his mouth. But nah, just a nothing snitch about the reporter. He did nothing worth any sort of reward there, as outside the fact her father was the culprit, that incident wouldn't have been worth anything.
The inmates at Arkham overact and are just terrible in my opinion and I don't know ... major disappointment. If not for the actress doing such a great job, I doubt people would be praising this shit episode so much.
this episode is a fucking drag.. didn't watch the entire thing yet, not sure if i will.
the writing is kind of ridiculous in this ep, i mean, if you imagine it's instead a comic book it's "ok", but in comparison to the first 3 episodes this is a letdown.

Or maybe the damage is yet to come. Just wait until the girlbosses show up and up end the show during the seasons finale
Nah the 4th ep was written by a dude and it was the first with some cringy dialogue. This show is made by based alpha women and the guy writers are toady beta weaklings.
The storyline in the ep was great with Arkham and this little "thing" at the end but some of the dialogue was pretty bad
Latest episode plot spoiler regarding how unbelievable the ending was...
Spoiler:
The way she killed the family made no sense. You're telling me that the biggest mafia family in Gotham wouldn't have guards patrolling the grounds at night? At some point one of those guards would have come inside, saw his buddy sprawled on the floor due to the carbon monoxide poisoning, and raised the alarm. Also, that's a huge ass fucking mansion, I'd imagine it'd take quite some time to flood it with carbon monoxide, heating system or no.
It would have made much more sense had she poisoned everyone at dinner.
I get why they did it the way they did (so she could save the kid), but it would have never worked.

Thought close to the same thing, I'm 100% with you on that, this ep was a huge let-down too.

Turturro, who played the mob boss in the Matt Reeves film, told Variety that along with scheduling conflicts, he also didn’t have a draw to return for the HBO series because “in the show, there was a lot of violence towards women, and that’s not my thing.”
